annoying lack of attention to detail at "other than Apple"

It is really annoying when companies I like can't live up to the attention to detail that is exemplified by Apple. Case in point: BlackBerry's comparison tables. Look at the difference in the way that the dimensions are displayed. OK. This is utterly insignificant and more than merely bordering on obsessive-compulsive. Guilty. But I just can't imagine Apple allowing these little errors to occur on their site.

I don't think it's obsessive compulsive at all. It's a completely unnecessary mistake that could have been avoided with a cursory proofing.

Although I completely messed up a report for BlackBerry yesterday because of one tiny misstep, so I'm guilty of not paying attention to detail as well!
